“Our Web page is an extension of everything we do,” says Marotte. It also offers live chat online prayer available a few hours a week, “just like when you go to church and there’s someone there to pray with you.”

Thanks for posting this info. I really don’t see anything surprising! Thing that worries me is that most churches still see the way they have communicated for “all those years” as both efficient and cost affective.

I wonder how much of (39%) and lack of interest or demand was caused by 40% update it (facebook) once a week.

47% of churches actively use Facebook.
40% of churches don’t use any social media tools.

This is probably a dumb question, but then again, I’m a designer and not a statistician. So would this mean that of the remaining 60% of churches that use Social Media, only 47% use it actively? Thanks
